POLITICAL STRAIN between Madison County and the city of Madison continues, with Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler saying her constituents aren’t getting a fair shake, and three county supervisors saying they’re doing the best they can.

“The county needs to realize that the city of Madison, the citizens of Madison, pay county taxes. And if you look at the amount … the number is huge,” Butler said.
